Assistant Professor Marina Vance uses her passion for drawing to educate and inspire by creating animated science videos that share her research in aerosol particle transformation in easily accessible ways. As a recent NSF CAREER Award recipient, Vance will continue her research at the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ while sharing her work beyond academic circles through a new partnership with Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØScience Discovery.
A digital wellness program funded by Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s Community Impact Grant is being developed to help middle-school girls counteract the negative psychological impacts of social media. Creative Technology and Design graduate student researchers in the program's Social Impact track will work with lead investigator Annie Margaret from the ATLAS Institute to design the program.
Professor Xiaoyun Ding and his team of researchers aim to improve cancer-fighting tools and cut patient costs, exploring ways to streamline delivery of lifesaving treatments into immune cells.
Inspired by the natural world, Kaushik Jayaram heads up the Animal Inspired Movement and Robotics Laboratory (AIM-RL) at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder. The group aims to develop robotic devices that benefit and enhance human capabilities in the areas of search and rescue, inspection and maintenance, personal assistance, and environmental monitoring. As an Assistant Professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kaushik's work is highly interdisciplinary, working at the crossroads of engineering, biomimicry, and design.
Imagine opening up a book of nature photos only to see a kaleidoscope of graceful butterflies flutter out from the page. Such fanciful storybooks might soon be possible thanks to the work of a team of designers and engineers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s ATLAS Institute.
Researchers at Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder are working with colleagues in Ireland to help policymakers and planners reduce residential energy consumption and the related greenhouse gas emissions from homes.
Hamlington sat down with Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Today to talk about Coors Field’s reputation as a hitter’s park—and why science gives him a new appreciation for sports.
Starting in fall 2021, the endowment will allow Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder's aerospace engineering department to recruit top graduate students.
